Chapter 45 Section 1

When Su Qin returned to Yan, the country of Yan was really shocked! Jicheng is actually an empty alleyway for thousands of people. The red crowd spread from the country and official roads to the gate of the palace.The old people said that they have never seen such a huge crowd of people in their life, and Wu Xinjun brought great luck to the country of Yan! The monarchs and ministers of the Yan Kingdom greeted thirty li from the suburbs, with flags and spears like a forest, and bronze chariots lined up in a rumbling long queue. King Yan Yi respectfully helped Su Qin to the king's chariot, and drove Su Qin himself, which attracted thousands of people from all over the country. The joyous cheers, the sound of long live flooded the city of Yamahara.Everyone felt that this hero who had brought great honor to the Yan Kingdom deserved no matter how high the courtesy was given.For more than a hundred years, Yan State was the only veteran royal prince in the Warring States Period. It was also the only Warring States State that had not expanded but was always shrinking. It had never had a moment in a memorable event, and the people of Yan State had never felt proud.Today, Yan State has become the first country where the six kingdoms united, and the prime ministers of the six countries have returned to Yan State to take office!Overnight, the Kingdom of Yan became the most powerful country in the world, and the people in the government and the opposition would not celebrate with emotion?From the King of Yanyi to the craftsman and farmer, no one has carefully tasted the true significance of this matter to the Yan Kingdom, and no one has thought about whether it is worth such a carnival for the success of a diplomatic mediation?Just let the shrinking heart that has been suppressed for too long be stretched and vented.

Su Qin on the king's car had an indifferent smile. Facing the endless cheers and all kinds of prostrations, Su Qin was a little at a loss.The same person, no one pays attention to him when he is down and down, but once he becomes famous, such unimaginable glory, wealth, admiration and admiration are like the waves of the sea coming to overwhelm him!When Luoyang returned to his hometown, the people of the country also cheered and praised him, but Su Qin was not dazed and dizzy, but a kind of sincere intoxication and joy. After all, returning home with clothes and brocades is a rare kind of pride in life, even though this kind of pride is not without shallowness, But it is a real pleasure.

Today is not the case, the fanaticism of the government and the people of the Yan Kingdom made him feel uncomfortable like a thorn in his back.He truly felt that the alliance of the six kingdoms was his own blood and sweat, even if he wore the seal of the six kingdoms, he deserved it.However, he also genuinely believed that the alliance of the six countries could not fundamentally save any country, let alone bring prosperity and well-being to the common people. , It is really a kind of delusion, the deeper the thought, the more painful the loss, once the crisis of the six kingdoms merges, the halo and the bubble suddenly disappear, what should people do?If it is said that Su Qin could still smile at the cheers and praises of the people of the country, then the extraordinary courtesy given to him by the monarch and ministers really made him uneasy.He instinctively felt that among the monarchs and ministers of the Six Kingdoms, very few people grasped the true intentions and original plans of the Six Kingdoms Alliance, and he even had a faint fear: once the Six Kingdoms Alliance stands between heaven and earth, what will happen to the fate of this behemoth? , it is no longer within his control.

King Yan Yi held a grand reception banquet for Su Qin. More than 300 ministers and nobles from the royal family gathered together.During the banquet, the king of Yan Yi issued an edict: worship Su Qin as the founding prime minister of the Yan state, grant Yishui a fief of 200 miles, and build the prime minister's mansion of Wu Xinjun in Jicheng!Being both Lord Wu Xin and the Prime Minister of Kaifu, this is what the common people like to talk about, "Conferring the King and Worshiping the Prime Minister", and it is also the ultimate reward for the kings of the world to their ministers, and it is also the highest peak that ordinary people can achieve when they become officials!King Yanyi's words fell, and the hall shouted: "Long live Wu Xinjun—!" Excited.But the disappointment of the monarch and ministers of the Yan Kingdom was only fleeting, and they were quickly overwhelmed by the great joy and celebration of the banquet.

In the middle of the night, the banquet just ended. Seeing the ministers led by E Guanbo and the splendid and beautiful nobles come out of the hall in an endless stream, Su Qin felt empty in his heart.From the beginning to the end, he did not see Yan Ji's figure.She is the Empress of the Former Kingdom, as long as she is in Jicheng, the King of Yan will never fail to invite her to a banquet.Is she not in Jicheng anymore?Where could she hide? "Mr. Wu Xin," King Yan Yi walked over from the central throne: "The banquet is over, and I left a few ministers to have a small banquet with Lord Wu Xin, and listen to what Lord Wu Xin said about the general situation of the six kingdoms?" King Yan Yi In his thirties, with long beard and cheeks, thick and stocky, his face flushed with joy after drinking.

"I also have this intention." Su Qin cupped his hands and said, "However, it is better to have fewer people. I want to present my secret strategy to my king." King Yan Yi pondered for a while, and finally said with a smile: "Okay, then let him and his son stay in the palace." After the officials retreated, King Yanyi held a small banquet in the outer hall of the study on the east side of the main hall.It is said to be a small banquet, but in fact, each person has a trip to Yan Guo's hot and sour sheep tripe soup to sober up, and then drink tea.The intention of King Yanyi to arrange this small banquet was not to drink, but to let the ministers listen to Su Qin's story about the history of the six kingdoms and the details of each country, as well as the grand plan and long-term strategy of how to make Yan's prestige great, so as to inspire the government and the public.But Su Qin suggested that "fewer people are better, and the secret strategy is revealed", and King Yanyi felt a little disappointed, but Su Qin is now a character who promises everything in the six kingdoms, so King Yanyi obeyed after thinking about it, and only two people were left behind. There are two military officials accompanying him: one is Bian Chenggong, and the other is Liaodong General's son.Gong He was originally a doctor of the Zhou family. After escorting Yan Ji to marry Yan Wengong, he stayed in Yan State. This person was in his prime and was quite proficient in military art. He is not famous, but he is a minister of real power.Zizhi was an anti-hu border general in the northeast of Yan Kingdom, and he happened to come to Jicheng to arrange weapons, so King Yan Yi asked him to listen to the general situation of the world.The reason why these two people were left behind was that King Yanyi estimated that Su Qin's secret strategy would be to form a six-nation coalition to attack Qin, and these two were exactly the generals that King Yanyi wanted to send.

"Why did Lord Wu Xin teach me?" After drinking the sheep stomach soup, King Yan Yi wiped off the sweat from his forehead and looked at Su Qin with a smile. Su Qin said with a leisurely smile: "The king of Wei told the minister that Master Meng told him a story. Would my king be willing to listen to it?" "Okay." King Yan Yi said: "Master Meng often travels to Daliang, but he doesn't come to Yan." "Master Mencius said: A farmer in the Song Dynasty planted a piece of wheat and went to the field every day to look at it. It had been two months, but the wheat was always only two or three inches high. He was anxious, so he pulled up the wheat seedlings a few inches one by one. As far as the eye could see, the barley seedlings grew taller, and they turned out to be lush and green! The farmer hurried home and happily said to his wife and son, "Today's hard work, the seedlings will grow! Tomorrow, we will be able to harvest in a few days!" The old wife and son were very surprised, and rushed to the field, and saw that all the good wheat seedlings had withered." Su Qin stopped, and still looked at King Yan Yi with a smile.

"It's over?" "It's over." "What kind of story?" King Yan Yi mused, "Is there such a stupid person in the world?" "There may not be any ones who really help the elders. However, there are countless people who do similar things and are eager for success." "Oh——" Yan Yi Wang suddenly said: "Wu Xinjun said that the six kingdoms can't rush for success?" "It's not purely like this." Su Qin said: "The true meaning of Master Meng's story is to warn people to do things based on the basics, not to inflate external forces. The foundation is solid, and the momentum comes naturally. The foundation is weak, and it still withers despite the external forces. Does my king think so?"

"That's right. Mr. Wu Xin seems to have a hidden meaning?" King Yan Yi was indeed at a loss for such a story. Su Qin said solemnly: "The original intention of the minister: Most of the monarchs and ministers of the six countries failed to understand the original intention of the six kingdoms." "He Zong's original intention? Isn't the Six Kingdoms fighting against Qin?" "Resisting the strong Qin Dynasty is only the direct goal of the six-nation alliance, and it is a top priority." Although Su Qin's eyesight is not good, his eyes are shining at this time: "The foundation of the six-nation alliance is to strive for stability for several years or even more than ten years. , so that all countries can seize a period of time to reform and strengthen themselves, and compete with Qin for their fundamental national strength! But knowing this gist, they regard Hezong as a means and strategy, and reform and strengthen themselves as their real purpose. Unfortunately, six Among the countries, only the Chu State has realized this vital point, otherwise King Wei of Chu would not be so resolute in carrying out the alliance. The four countries of Wei, Zhao, Han, and Qi all took advantage of the opportunity of the alliance to reform and strengthen themselves, without the slightest understanding. The minister now returns to Yan, It seems that the government and the people of the Yan Kingdom have no plan to change the law and seek strength. The whole country regards Hezong as a wall against the wind and a shield against the enemy. But under the backing, what should be done? But there is no plan. In such a situation, the minister Can't help worrying."

In the lobbying of launching a joint alliance, Su Qin's rhetoric has always only involved the threats faced by various countries, the grievances and entanglements among the countries, and the hatred with Qin, the common enemy of the six countries. Longitudinal and far-reaching original intention.It's not impossible to say, but there is no need to say it.Among the monarchs and ministers of the Six Kingdoms, there are many mediocre and mediocre people, and far-reaching intentions are often regarded as far-fetched scholarly empty words, why not say it?Except for the special debate in the palace of Chu State, Su Qin only spoke in a language that the opposite king could understand, and even for the four princes, he did not reveal his original intention.Today, I felt the kindness of Yan Guo's initial knowledge and encounter, but he said it sincerely and frankly, and the words seemed extraordinarily heavy.

King Yan Yi was a little confused by what Su Qin said.He secretly thought it was funny, wouldn't he change the law and strengthen the country?This is the secret strategy?I don't know how many people have said it for more than a hundred years, but all celebrities have said this word on their lips. Why is it so solemn?Who doesn't want to be strong, but is that easy?Yan State has not even fought a decent battle, Qin State is bullying, Zhao State is bullying, Qi State is bullying, even Zhongshan State is bullying, the threat is constant day by day, it is rare to be able to defend until today, the general situation is unstable, who Dare to change the law?Even though he thought so, he couldn't say that to Su Qin. After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Jun Wu Xin is right, and this king has benefited a lot. How about starting reforms as soon as the country of Yan is rehabilitated? The most urgent thing is to send troops into the country." Alliance, defeat Qin. What do the two generals think?" Gong Ta stood up and cupped his hands: "I think it's a big deal, if the foreign enemies don't go, how can we talk about internal affairs?" "If you want to resist Qin, you must also reform." Liaodong General Zi Zhizhi just said something bluntly. Su Qin was silent for a moment, and suddenly burst into a drunken laugh: "My king has already thought of this, so it's just that the minister is just adding to the snake." Wei Qing seemed to have woken up, and said with a smile: "Where is the Yan Kingdom if you join forces and form an army?" As a general? How many troops will you send?" "Gong Ta is the general, and he will send 50,000 troops." King Yan Yi was straightforward. But Zizhi suddenly said loudly: "Zizhi begged to be a general, to fight Qin in a bloody battle, and to avenge the shame of Dayan!" King Yan Yi seemed to hesitate, and said with a smile: "We can discuss this matter later." "Okay! The general invites you to fight, the country of Yan is hopeful!" Su Qin laughed for a while, "I'm drunk today..." Before he could say a word, he fell down on the carpet like mud. King Yanyi laughed loudly: "Oh, Mr. Wu Xin really doesn't drink too much! Come, Wang Che will take Mr. Wu Xin back to his residence!" A luxurious bronze caravan with four horses rattled out of the palace.The Yanshan wind blows in March, and the curtains of the car slapped. Su Qin, who was lying in the car, sat up suddenly, opened the curtains, and a chill hit his face!Su Qin suddenly felt refreshed, and suddenly stood on the shaft of the car, as if he was standing under the canopy of the car. His cloak and sleeves danced together, his long hair and high crown were tangled, and his singing resounded in the empty and quiet long street. Chant: "The sound of bells and drums—the soup of the river water—worried and hurt—the promise never to be forgotten—!" When he left Yan Kingdom and went south, Su Qin already had a mansion of Lord Wu Xin, which was confiscated by the criminal officials of the royal family.Although it is already very prominent in the impoverished country of Yan, in reality, it is just a big house with four entrances and six bays.Su Qin only lived in this mansion for less than ten days before leaving, and he didn't even have time to look at the houses in the courtyard.King Yan Yi received the news that Su Qin was returning to Yan from the north, so he stepped up to repair the mansion, and selected more than 20 maids and servants from the palace and government offices, under the supervision of an old palace servant Renovating and scrubbing day and night also made Wu Xinjun's mansion bright and full of vitality.When Wang Che arrived at the gate of the mansion, the old manager of the family came to greet him with four maids. Seeing that Mr. Wu Xin was drunk, he immediately carried Su Qin in on a soft couch. As soon as Wang Che left, Su Qin immediately returned to normal, drank a few cups of weak tea, wandered around the courtyard twice, and was surprised to find that this small courtyard had become completely different from when he left. Hongkuo is completely a mansion of nobles!That being the case, why did King Yanyi build a new Wu Xinjun Prime Minister's Mansion for him?Can't there be a councilor here?For the poor and weak Yan State, how much money would be spent on a luxurious and magnificent mansion, didn't the King of Yan think about it?Although King Yanyi expressed indifference and ridicule to his claims today, and Su Qin was unwilling to have friction with King Yan when he first returned to Yan State, Su Qin still couldn't bear to see Yan State make such a big arrangement when it was so weak, thinking After a long time, he returned to his study and wrote a letter to King Yanyi: With a sound of "Dang!", Su Qin threw the pen, and the bronze pen holder hit the jade inkstone with a crisp sound. A soft sigh came from behind the curtain.Su Qin got up abruptly, and asked in a deep voice, "Who is behind the tent?" The gauze tent whirled for a while, and a person with a bamboo hat and a veil skirt swaying the ground came out from the shadows. Looking at the tall and graceful figure, one could tell that it was a woman.Su Qin's heart moved: "You? But..." The man slowly took off the black gauze hat, revealing the green long skirt and shawl white gauze that will always be in Su Qin's heart! "Yan Ji..." Su Qin rubbed his hazy eyes: "Is it really you?" "Ji Zi, there's nothing wrong, it's me." Yan Ji's bright smile was shining with crystal tears. Su Qin picked up the lantern on the desk, panted and moved closer step by step, staring at the face that had fallen asleep so many times: the black hair is still so beautiful, the skin is still so bright, the eyes are still so bright, and the smile is still so mysterious ,where?What is it... Su Qin's trembling fingers gently stroked the fine crow's feet at the corners of Yan Ji's eyes, and suddenly burst into tears, he fell down, and the lantern in his hand hit the carpet with a "boom!" "Ji Zi..." Yan Ji exclaimed in a low voice, picked up Su Qin, and put him on the small bamboo couch where he took a nap during the day. Su Qin opened his eyes and sat up suddenly: "Yan Ji, tell me quickly! How did you get here? Where are you hiding?" "Ah, it hurts me so much." Yan Ji murmured softly, and then smiled brightly: "Lie down, I'll talk about it later." "Okay." Su Qin also smiled: "When I saw you, I was so weak." Then he leaned on the pillow of the bamboo couch. "It's too tiring." Yan Ji sighed quietly: "Driving far and wide, socializing all the time, dealing with each other every day, writing letters every night, is there anyone who does things like this?" "It's okay, it's been a long time, I can hold on, let's talk about you first." Yan Ji smiled helplessly, and told Su Qin about her experience in the great changes in the palace. Yan Wengong died suddenly, and Yan Ji was very suspicious.Although Duke Wen is in his fifties and suffers from old illnesses, according to the imperial physician's diagnosis and Yan Ji's own observation, Duke Yan Wen will not be in danger of dying for at least three to five years.However, when Yan Ji accompanied the prince to hold the spring plowing ceremony and came back, the old monarch had already died in the study, his face was purple and his eyes were wide open, and he described it as terrifying!Yan Ji immediately searched for the maid who served the old monarch, but she couldn't find any clues.Just when she was still breathing, the prince rushed to the harem with 300 elite soldiers and several ministers. He didn't inquire about the cause of the old monarch's death, and he didn't intend to discuss with her at all. The news of the collapse announced the national mourning and the crown prince's accession to the throne!To Yan Ji's inexplicable surprise, the prince who respected her very much and helped him through crises many times turned cold and fierce in an instant, treating her like nothing.Yan Ji held her breath and left the bedroom without saying a word, and immediately started to clean up her belongings, making preparations to leave the palace at any time.During the whole month of national mourning, she never left her courtyard, neither participated in the funeral nor asked about state affairs.Suddenly, her queen is a forgotten relic, as if she never existed.After the great funeral, the new king declared himself king. When the new emperor checked Yan Wengong's study room, he found that one of the most important jade seals passed down to the kingdom and a map of the secret collection of the Yan kingdom were missing!When the new king came to her aggressively, even the small courtyard was surrounded.Instead of panicking, Yan Ji declared to the new king with a smile: She was ordered by the emperor to return to the Luoyang royal family.The new king said sullenly that as long as she handed over the jade seal and the secret map, he would let her go back to Luoyang.But Yan Ji burst into laughter: "If I don't go back to Luoyang, what's the problem if I die in Yan Kingdom?" The new king had no choice but to reject the soldiers and persuade her softly to beg her.Yan Ji was completely unmoved, and put forward coldly: "The first monarch died strangely. Find out the cause of death and investigate the murderer, and it will not be too late." The new king had no choice but to plot with his confidant overnight. Then he beheaded the head of the palace servants and the three ministers, and the people of Jicheng cheered. When the new king came to see Yan Ji, Yan Ji handed over the jade seal to the former prince who was already very strange.The new king asked for the secret map, and Yan Ji took out the edict of Duke Wen of Yan. The edict said: "The secret map will be in charge of Yan Ji, the queen of the country. The new king can take it at his discretion and cannot change it. No!" The new king was stunned for a long time, and then sighed: "What is the intention of the empress?" Yan Ji smiled and replied: "I just want to hide in a secret place, away from court entanglements, that's all." The new king said: "If there is an emergency, How can I find the empress?" Yan Ji said: "Your Majesty has three letter harriers, but if you release one, I will receive it within two hours, and I will specify the location at that time." The new king had been thinking for a long time, so he had to agree to Yan Ji Leave Jicheng. Although the state of Yan is in short supply, the monarchs of all dynasties have inherited the meticulous tradition of the old Zhou royal family and hoarded a certain amount of surplus goods. After more than 600 years, these secretly hidden treasures are really not to be underestimated!Most of the reason why Yan State dared to put on the old aristocratic posture as a poor and weak country was because of these amazing secret treasures.Without these secret treasures, the Yan Kingdom would not be able to deal with any decent battles.But because of this, the new monarch dared not offend the empress who was in charge of the secret collection of maps, but sent a messenger every one or two months to greet her.In this way, Yan Ji lived a real life of seclusion. "Wouldn't it be a big trouble for them to follow Xinyao's trail to find you?" Su Qin suddenly became anxious. "Jizi is stupid." Yan Ji smiled and said, "It's not a letter dog, it's not a letter pigeon, it's a letter harrier. The kite is like a goshawk, and it goes straight up to the clouds as soon as it spreads its wings. It's hard to find a trace, but how does he follow it? This is also the history of Yan Jun. The old way, never fails." "That's good." Su Qin breathed a long sigh of relief: "Jing Yan went back to Yan last time. I didn't hear from you, and I didn't see you at the banquet today. I'm really anxious." "The new monarch has many tricks and has sealed off the palace very tightly, but nothing happens to the outside world. What does Ji Zi think of the new King Yan?" "It's not a good weather." Su Qin suddenly looked worried. "Are you still willing to use the Yan Kingdom as your foundation?" "The country of Yan is the origin of He Zong, and everyone in the world knows it, so it should be the country with its foundation." Yan Ji smiled and said: "It's late at night, let's talk about these things in detail some other day." Su Qin suddenly sat up: "Where are you? How can I find you?" "Within three days, I searched according to the picture." Yan Ji smiled and took out a piece of white silk from her sleeve and pressed it into Su Qin's palm: "Guarantee you have a good place to talk. I'm leaving, don't move. The servant here Officials and servants are all my old people, so it’s easy to come and go.” After speaking, he put on the bamboo hat, turned around and disappeared behind the curtain. Su Qin suddenly felt empty, dazed, dazed, and disturbed, and all of them flooded into his heart for a moment.I couldn't fall asleep no matter what, so I simply went for a walk in the courtyard.Jicheng Diao Dou has already started the fifth watch, the moon and stars are sparse in the sky, and the silhouette of the mountain peak across the northern sky seems to be pressing on the top of the head.The mountain wind hadn't blown up yet, and there was no sound between the sky and the earth. Su Qin suddenly felt a sense of suffocation that he had never felt before, and his chest was extremely stuffy. Crisis abounded at the beginning of the alliance: before the coalition was established, King Wei of Chu died of illness; Duke Yan Wen, King Qi Wei, King Wei Hui, and several old monarchs who were deeply wary of Qin also died; All kinds of problems may suddenly arise.King Yanyi's attitude made him realize suddenly: the true intention of the Six Kingdoms Alliance may never be understood by others, and it is even more difficult to realize it. The only function a vertical can play is probably just a shield that needs to be repaired from time to time! Thinking of this, a deep depression permeated Su Qin's heart. The grand plan conceived in the icy and snowy countryside of Luoyang is like a bizarre dream in the dog fly camp of the monarchs and ministers of the six countries today!Isn't it good to change the law?Isn't it good to be a strong country?Why are these monarchs and ministers unwilling to do it?What a great mystery!Suddenly, Su Qin felt that he was extremely tired, very old, and extremely helpless about the world. He really wanted to hide in a paradise, and carefully and thoroughly figure out the mysteries of the world.But where is his paradise?Luoyang Suzhuang?The old father passed away, leaving Suzhuang just a piece of old land full of worldly desires.The two younger brothers hope that the second brother will lead them into the road of officialdom and let them show off their talents; the elder sister-in-law hopes that his power will last forever and make the Su family brilliant forever; the wife hopes that he will be a commoner man and woman Weaving, but what she can give Su Qin is still a kind of suffocation, a kind of suffocation that is deeply trapped in the rural soil and cannot extricate himself!In the final analysis, when you lose the aura of power on your body, the old land of your hometown will only give you contempt and ridicule, but will never give you a kind of detachment from the world.Yan Ji, who was like a fairy in her dream, fell into the palace conspiracy of Yan Kingdom again. When she was supposed to be free, she still wore the queen's laurel crown and had no plans to go away. She seemed destined to live in this world. Going on in the circle of conspiracy and staying in the land of Yan Kingdom forever, if this is the case, Su Qin's dream will also be wiped out forever... Thirty-year-old Su Qin, who was still a virgin, was deeply confused for the first time, and was a little at a loss. "My lord! How do you sleep here?" A maid shouted in panic. Su Qin opened his eyes and saw himself lying on a stone table by the pool, his clothes were damp and cold, and the dewdrops were still shining in the morning mist.The maid carefully helped Su Qin up: "My lord, the elder is looking for you everywhere." Su Qin lazily yawned long and loudly, rubbed his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?" "It is said that General Jing Yan is asking for an urgent visit." The maid replied in a low voice. "Jing Yan?" Su Qin lifted his spirits, got up suddenly, and strode towards the study in a hurry. Following Su Qin's return to Yan, Jing Yan became famous in Yan.During the banquet, King Yan Yi ordered Jing Yan to be a Chinese doctor.For a samurai who was born as a commoner, the original commander-in-chief was already Jing Yan's greatest promise. Being named a doctor of the middle school and being a courtier was tantamount to changing the family completely with the utmost glory.But Jing Yan blushed and said to King Yan: "Jing Yan is just a warrior, and he dare not be on the top of the temple. He is willing to be an official of Lord Wu Xin for the rest of his life." Being virtuous, he actually persuaded him a few words, hoping that he would accept the king's seal.But Jing Yan just blushed and shook her head without saying a word.King Yanyi was disappointed and helpless, so he had to give up with a few praises.Su Qin was also quite confused, took advantage of the banquet to go to the bathroom, and asked the reason when no one was there, Jing Yan just said dully: "The mind is shallow, it should not be a big fate." Seeing Jing Yan unwilling to say more and never changing, Su Qin didn't ask any more questions.Before the banquet was over, Jing Yan went south to Daliang to make contact, how did she come back so quickly? Jing Yan was wandering anxiously outside the study room, seeing Su Qin hurriedly approaching with disheveled clothes, long hair and gray face, she couldn't help but went up to her and asked in amazement, "Why does elder brother look like this?" Su Qin waved his hand: "It's okay, there's a lot of wine What happened?" Jing Yan said urgently in a low voice: "The scouts are urgently reporting: Zhang Yi is on an envoy to Chu State! I was afraid that you had a new plan, so I turned back halfway, and I will set off immediately when you have made up your mind." Su Qin however He remained silent without speaking, thought for a moment and said: "You stay in the outer hall for a while, let me think about this matter carefully. Elder, serve tea to the general." After speaking, he strode into the study. An hour later, Su Qin walked out of the study, holding four copper pipes in his hand: "Jing Yan, you immediately assign a powerful knight to distribute these four letters to the four princes of Lord Xinling, Lord Mengchang, Lord Pingyuan, and Lord Chunshen. Three In the future, you will go south with me, and you will prepare the details, I have one thing to take care of." "Brother don't worry, you just do your work, I'll go now." Jing Yan inserted the brass pipe into her waist leather pouch, and strode out. Su Qin felt a little sleepy, so he went to the bathroom and soaked in the cold water for a while, and his mind was refreshed immediately.This is a habit he formed when he was studying hard in the countryside. He soaked in cold well water in summer, and rolled naked in the ice and snow in winter. The cold breath penetrated into his heart and spleen, which was the most effective way to relieve his difficulties.After taking a cold bath, he hurriedly ate a pot of gravy noodle cakes, then took a black chariot with curtains on all sides and went straight out of the north gate of Jicheng. Speeding away deep in the mountains. In March, Yanshan Mountain is pale yellow and green, and the vastness lies in front of it. How many valleys and strange peaks are there?When he came to a river with clear waves, Su Qin looked it over, knocked his foot, and the horse galloped along the river to the lowest and most mediocre valley.After walking for a while, the valley suddenly turned from north-south to east-west. Su Qin shook the rein with his left hand and entered the valley to the west.After walking about three or five miles, the valley gradually narrowed, but my body felt hotter and hotter. The full, mighty and slightly chilly spring breeze unique to Yanshan, unknowingly turned into a warm and warm valley breeze.The strange peaks in front of you are as high as clouds, the ground is soft and green, and the forests are full of green and lush. It is actually a double world with the outside of the mountain. Su Qin looked around on his horse, and felt that the wonderful scenery of this valley was unimaginable outside of Yanshan Mountain, and it was really a hidden wonder in the ordinary!Suddenly, he heard a faint rumbling sound, and he followed the rumbling sound deep into the valley. About a mile away, he saw a big waterfall falling from a high mountain peak, flying pearls and jade, and falling into the mist. Unexpectedly intermittent flashes of ever-changing rainbow.Look up and look around: the waterfall is at the end of the valley, with strange peaks on both sides facing each other, and the valley in the middle can only accommodate this deep green pool; Get famous.Although the singing of the birds is lost in the sound of the rumbling waterfall, the colorful figures that appear in the flowers, bushes, and treetops are really full of vitality. "Tianquan Valley? What a place!" Su Qin stretched his waist and made a long breath, feeling that his body was soft.After calming down, he took out a black and swarthy Tao Xun from the lining pocket of his gown and blew it on.This is an outing folk song that Luoyang people have burned in their hearts. In "Poetry", it is "Shu Li" in "Wang Feng". .This song may have been forgotten in the Warring States Period of the Central Plains, but the people of Luoyang Wangcheng will never forget it. Along with the melodious and melancholy Xun sound, a long singing voice suddenly floated out from the valley: The singing is bleak and solemn, but it is exactly the old lyrics of "Shu Li", that kind of stagnant singing, that kind of unique soul-like calling, which is absolutely impossible for Zhou people to sing. "Yanji—! Where are you—?" "Look to the right—" Su Qin turned around and vaguely saw a little white snow blowing in the wind in the mountainside full of mountain flowers.Although his eyesight was not good, he was sure that it was Yan Ji, so he whipped the horse, and the horse neighed like an arrow and rushed towards the mountain peak in the east! "Ji Zi! I'm here—" Dan heard a clear laughter from the mountainside, and a figure in green clothes and white gauze floated down from the mountain lightly, landing on the horse's back.A burst of plump and soft fragrance and warmth immediately surrounded Su Qin from behind, drowning Su Qin!A strange feeling that he had never experienced before struck him like lightning, making him almost fall off his horse.Suddenly, he grabbed the plump and soft green skirt and white gauze, hugged it tightly in his arms, gasped for breath, and the two scorching bodies overlapped on the horse's back and melted... "It's really a hungry wolf." Among the flowers and plants, Yan Ji stroked Su Qin's cheek. "Zhongshan wolf!" After a burst of laughter, Su Qin pulled Yan Ji into his arms again.She was panting with flushed face, but she hugged her sweaty, dark and shiny strong body tightly, letting the intoxicating tide, wrapped in hot sweat, attack her wantonly, in her crystal clear The plump body was surging, she turned into a light boat floating in the crests and valleys, and like a feather fluttering in the wind, gliding up the peak and down the deep valley, submerged in boundless and deep joy, she heartily Shouting, calling, searching, but obliterating myself deeper and deeper... When the sun reached the top of the mountain, Yan Ji woke up.She didn't disturb Su Qin, and went to the mountain stream to tidy herself up, then sat beside him, watching and waiting quietly, as the sunset glow faded from the top of the mountain.Finally, Su Qin opened his eyes: "Hey! It's dark?" Yan Ji patted him on the cheek with a friendly smile: "Ji Zi, you are really tired." Su Qin suddenly sat up and shook his head and smiled: " I've never slept so soundly before, with cold water rushing, I'm fine for three days and three nights." Yan Ji giggled and said, "It's really a Zhongshan wolf. Look over there, the root of the mountain is a stream, and the spring water overflowing from the pool is just I'm afraid it's a little cold." "The cooler the better." Su Qin walked over and lay down on the pebbles in the stream, letting the cool mountain stream rush past him. "Where is Ye Lai? A cave? A valley?" Yan Ji shouted while sitting on a boulder by the stream. "It's all a fairyland!" Su Qin shouted happily as he lay on his back in the water. Yan Ji smiled and stood up, opened her bag, set aside a small white tent, and lit a raging bonfire.At this time, a bright moon climbed to the top of the mountain, and the sky in the canyon was as blue as washing. The light fragrance of flowers and plants mixed with the mist from the waterfall mixed into a fresh and pure atmosphere permeated the valley. A boundless stillness.When Su Qin came out of the mountain stream, he felt a kind of ease and comfort that he had never experienced before. He couldn't help but chanted loudly to the bright moon in the sky: "Who says the river is wide? A reed sails it. Who says the sky is high? Look forward to it." ! Who calls He Guang? Zeng Rongdao. Who calls the sky high? Twilight, Chaozhao——!" Yan Ji smiled: "It was changed by you, this "He Guang" is really far-reaching." "He Guang" was originally a homesick ballad of the wanderers in the Song Dynasty.Su Qin was full of thoughts, and changed the sentence "who calls Song Yuan" to "who calls the sky high", and the artistic conception became far-reaching-who said the big river is wide?A reed boat can cross.Who said that the sky is high and far away, you can look at each other when you stand on tiptoe!Who says big rivers are not wide?No matter how many reeds are cut by a knife, it will not be able to pass.Who says the sky is not high?Even Mu Mu Chao Chao couldn't get there. Su Qin sighed: "today's heaven, I'm afraid it's twilight and morning." "You, let's eat and drink first." Yan Ji smiled and said, "As long as you want to leave, why don't you be afraid of Mu Mu Chao Zhao?" "Well said!" Su Qin laughed for a while, and suddenly smelled a strange aroma of wine and meat, and walked a few steps forward, only to see a red pheasant roasting on the iron frame of the campfire, and a group of chickens beside it. The altar has been unsealed Lanling wine and two pottery bowls, I can't help but look overjoyed: "Hey! How can there be wine and meat?" Yan Ji smiled and said: "Without an arrow, everything is ready. Let's talk about it later. Come on, first Let's drink a bowl together." "Wait a minute." Su Qin picked up the pottery bowl and said with a smile: "There should be an excuse." "If you meet the king today, you will never forget each other forever." "The soul will follow you around, and it will follow you in the next life!" The two bowls collided, and both of them drank it down in one gulp.There were crystal tears on Yan Ji's smiling face, and she didn't care to wipe it off, so she took down the bright red pheasant on the iron frame and cut it open with a dagger, and handed Su Qin a huge chicken leg.Su Qin took it with one hand, but gently wiped away the tears on her cheek with the other hand. "Ji Zi..." Yan Ji trembled for a while, and quickly turned her face away to block her tears with a sweat towel, but when she turned her head, she smiled brightly again.Su Qin tore and chewed, Yan Ji handed the pheasant to him piece by piece, but she just stared at it silently. "It's over? Ah! Why haven't you eaten at all?" Su Qin shouted in surprise, spreading his greasy hands. Yan Ji laughed "poof": "I see that you eat much more comfortably than I do. Come on, wash your hands and wipe your face." Then she pulled a skin bag from behind to untie it, and poured water for Su Qin to wash his hands and wipe his face.After tidying up, the two looked at each other silently, speechless for a moment.After a long time, Yan Ji whispered: "How long?" "There are still twelve hours..." "There's still time. Let's see where I live." "Yan Ji, do you want to live forever in Yan Country?" 燕姬轻轻的叹息了一声：“天地虽大，何处可容我身？我的梦想，一半已经破灭了。剩下的这一半，将永远留在我的心里……燕姬不能嫁给你，不能名正言顺的做你的妻。你不能娶我，不能名正言顺的做我的夫。可上苍偏偏让我们相遇，让我们相知，让我们相爱。你说，我们又能如何？纵然无视礼法王权，可你还有刚刚开始的功业，那是你终生的宏图，我们没有毁灭它的权力……” 心中一阵大痛，可苏秦生生地咬牙忍住了那几乎要喷发出来的呐喊，不能！他不能给燕姬留下太过猛烈的伤痛。沉默良久，苏秦铁青的脸色渐渐和缓过来，拨弄着篝火低声道：“我只是担心你的处境？” “季子，我是万无一失的，对付宫廷权谋，自保还是有余的。”燕姬目不转睛的看着苏秦：“倒是你，太执著，看重建功立业，忽视权谋斡旋，我当真担心你呢。” 苏秦：“我有预感：六国合纵的真正目标，已经不可能达到了。目下我只有一个愿望：促成六国联军，与秦国大打一仗，使秦数年内不敢东出函谷关！以铁一般的事实说话：合纵抗秦，能够为中原六国争取时间，白白挥霍浴血的时间，那是六国自取灭亡！真的，我不想将遗恨留给自己……”一阵粗重的喘息过后，苏秦慨然笑道：“这个愿望一成，我便与你隐匿山野，做世外仙人。六国自顾不暇，那时谁来管一个逃匿了的苏秦？谁来管一个早已消失的国后？” “季子！”燕姬猛然扑到苏秦怀里，紧紧的抱住了他，竟分不清是笑还是哭。 山月已到中天，那堆明亮的篝火渐渐的熄灭了。
